Having recently returned to fitness swimming (with an eye toward my first triathlon), I am re-experiencing water in the ear syndrome. I have purchased, and am using some commercial drops (name escapes me at the moment) which does help dry out the ears.
My question is whether simple alcohol will work as well as the drops. Am curious to know what any of you may use for this.
Thanks, Nancy

YES plain alcohol works great. Anything with rubbing alcohol in it works great. I would rather use "swimmers ear" cause that tip fits right up into your ear. No mess. Other wise I have to put a small amount of rubbing alcohol in the cap of the bottle and have someone help me drop it it. That or you could find an eyedroper.
